Save for Web: change default connection speed

I've checked my Photoshop book, the online help, the knowledgebase and done a forum search. I may be using the wrong keywords.
When I go to Save for Web and Devices and I look at the optimized, two-up view or four-up views, down in the optimization info area in the lower left hand side of the window, how do I change the default speed from 28.8 to something else? In CS2 there was a way to change this, and now I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it in CS3.
Can anyone please help? Thank you in advance.

Theresa, just to clarify for the benefit of others reading this thread in the future,
if I recall correctly, those settings
DO NOT affect the file at all, they're there for the only purpose of showing you how long the file will take to open at each of the indicated connection steps so that you can choose an appropriate size for the file.
The "default" setting is, therefore, only relevant to the extent that you may want to see that information at a given connection speed every time you save a file without having to click on the contextual menu.

  • PSE 7 - Save for Web - Now Defaults to GIF - Prefer JPEG - Can I change it?

    When using PSE 7.0 File > Save for Web, I generally want the files to be JPEGs. In previous versions, the file format on this menu would stay at JPEG once you set it there. Now, each time I open the menu it returns to GIF. Is there a way to have it default or hold as a JPEG in that field?
    Thank you!

    Is there a competing program that is as good as PSE that I could try? I am having a few annoying problems with this program and I think it is time to try something else. I was really excited to use the Photoshop family of photos, but these three problems are getting me down:
    1) I hate that the save for web function defaults to .gif. It is really annoying. The fact that they have a tool to fix it yet that doesn't even work makes me even more bummed out.
    2) When I try to go from the organizer to the editor, it literally takes about 20 seconds for the photo to load. That is a big waste of time.
    3) Sometimes, when I am in the quick edit mode, the zoom feature doesn't work. Other times, the cropping feature doesn't work. I click it back to the full edit, and those functions work. It is odd.
    It isn't like I am trying to split the atom here. I am relatively computer savvy, and all I want to do is edit photos. I have had many problems like this with the previous version as well as the latest one.

  • Save for Web filetype default in PSE 8 on Windows 7

    I just installed PSE 8 on a new Windows 7 system. On my earlier Windows XP system running PSE 6, the Save for Web filetype defaulted to JPEG Medium, which is what I wanted. On this installation, it defaults every time to GIF; I change it and save the file as a JPEG, and the next one defaults again to GIF. Closing PSE, rebooting Windows, nothing changes that. I would like to make the default JPEG Medium; is there a way?

    On a MAC it does seem to stick on the last option you saved e.g. Jpeg if it was a Jpeg image.
    For windows, this seems to work:
    Find the file PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe using explorer (in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0 folder) right click on that file and choose Run As Administrator.
    Go back to the editor, open an image, select Save for Web and choose jpeg; then save that file. The next time you run the editor and use the save for web command the jpeg type should hopefully stick as the default.

  • Save for Web default folder in PSE 11

    On my Windows 7 system, in PSE 8 when I select Save for Web, it defaults to saving the image in a folder I chose that is separate from the one I used in Open.
    (Save and Save As default to the folder I opened the image from, and PSE 11 works the same way even though "Save As to Original Folder" is not checked in Edit | Preferences).
    But "Save for Web" also always defaults to the folder the image was opened from, even though I have started it in Admiinistrator mode and changed the destination.
    That worked to change the default file type from GIF to JPEG, but had no effect on the save-for-web default destination.
    Is there a way to set/change the save-for-web default folder in PSE 11?

    That makes sense, but it doesn't work for me in PSE11 (though PSE 8 is OK). I get the same result as yesterday, even after rebooting, which I hoped might clear any cached settings. With or without checking Save As to Original Folder, what happens is this:
    - Save to Web defaults to saving the image file in the source folder;
    - if I change the destination to my Web-images folder, that lasts until I close PSE 11, and not beyond;
    - when I start it up again, Save For Web defaults to the source folder (with or without Save As to Original Folder, and regardless of Run As Administrator.
    Looking at the folder   C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11
    I see that no files show a change in the last several days, so the setting must be elsewhere, in the registry or in C:\Users\... somewhere.  Hmmm..

  • Pshop CS3 Save for Web Increases Width/Height

    Hi, I've been using Photoshop for 15 years and used the Save for Web at CS2 without problem. In CS3, it is downsampling the res from 300 ppi to 72 correctly but at the same time increasing the width and height, as though I'd gone into Image Size to do the resize and had the Resample Image field unchecked. This worked fine in CS2, so what gives? I can't find any setting that needs to be changed in the Save for Web interface.

    Buko, I respectfully submit that your comment makes no sense. In CS2, using Save for Web automatically cut down the ppi to 72, and it removed web-unnecessary things like previews and paths so that the file could become smaller. It did NOT change the width or height of the image.
    The CS3 version is cuts down the res to 72ppi. This is fine. The problem we're experiencing (on more than one machine) is that it's growing the width and height as though it's not downsampling when it changes the res. IF that's what you mean by "strictly pixel based," then OK, but it's problematic.
    This is exactly the opposite result that you get if you take a digital camera photo that has a large dimension but low res, and increase the res to 300 while not allowing it to resample: you get a high-res image with smaller width/height image, as all pixels get smaller but maintain their exact colors.
    If the CS3 version of Save for Web changes the diensions of the image, which is frequently created based on the final dimensions needed in the web page, then it's freakin' useless, and I might as well create an Action using Image/Image Size to reduce the res but maintain dimensions.

  • How to set default preset for Save for Web

    Following the demise of my laptop, I have installed PSE8 (Windows) on my new one.
    On my old machine, the default preset for Save for Web was JPEG High
    On the new installation, the default is GIF and you have to manually scroll through the presets every time to apply the JPEG High preset.
    Is it possible to change the default preset.  If so, how.
    Thank you

  • Save For Web Default Settings

    I need to compress about 1,000 jpg images and I'm using the "save for web" feature in Photoshop 7 but I'm running into problems because my file names are very long and its cutting them off. I found the workaround by editing the output settings and unchecking the "Mac OS" box under "Filename Compatibility". However, the problem is that the default settings do not stay like this once I hit OK and I end up having to uncheck the Mac OS box for each and every file. Is there a way to permanently change the default settings so I can do batch processing for all my images? Thanks!

    Look in:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Presets\Optimized Output Settings
    for the Default Settings.iros.
    If it's gone look in:
    C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Presets\Optimized Output Settings
    (i think a reinstall is required to get back that preset if it's gone and you want the default)
    As far as i can tell you would have to save a new Default Settings.iros to make ps 7 use the custom file compatibilty settings all the time.
    You could save a new setting named Default Settings.iros to your desktop and then copy it to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Presets\Optimized Output Settings

  • Help   Save for Web problem    PE9  default gif setting

    I have a 64 bit PC with Windows 7. PE9 and problem is when I "Save for Web" as a jpg....everytime I save a file it defaults back to the gif everytime. I want the default to be JPG!!  I never use gif for anything.  Pain in the rear to change the drop and setting to jpg everytime. I have a call tag in with no help yet, and have reinstalled PE9.Thanks in advance. Ray

    It’s usually due to incorrect permissions settings on the OS.
    Open Windows Explorer and navigate to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe
    Locate the Photoshop Elements 9 folder (the one with the blue PSE logo)
    Right click on that folder and choose Properties - then click the security tab and make the following changes:
    1. Click on the edit button to change permissions.
    2. Click Add and type the word “Everyone” in the Object names Box (without the quotation marks) and click OK.
    3. Under group/User Names select everyone so that it becomes highlighted.
    4. Put a check mark in the box against Allow Full Control and click Apply.
    N.B. for Windows 64 bit navigate to Program Files (x86)
    PSE should now remember you last settings rather than reverting to the default settings.

  • Can't change image size % in save for web

    Hello,
    I'm using Photoshop CC. When slicing a web mockup, and saving for web, the image percent is blocked at 58.49% and I am not able to increase it to 100%. So my original image of 1024px wide comes out at 600px
    I haven't changed any settings (that I know of) and do not have this problem on any other mockup files I have. What setting do I need to adjust in order to save for web my slices at 100%?
    Thanks!

    I worked out what the issue was, my document height was over 8000px tall which is causing the issue, even though my slices are less than 2000px tall. When I temporarily crop the document to below 7000px, I can save out the slices at 100%. Annoying work around.
    It seems a bit random.

  • Set and save preferences/default in Save-For-Web?

    I used PE2 forever, even as my Mac OS updated. Now, however, on Snow Leopard, I had to get PE8, and I'm a little lost. In PE2, if I used the same custom setting in Save-For-Web, after awhile, it just kept it and that somehow became my default. It was marvelous. Now, in PE8, the JPG quality is always set to 0. I would like to set it to something I like (I am not completely happy with the presets), and have that come up as the default. Thank you very much for all of  your help.
    Bantymom

    *sigh* That does seem to be the case. It will remember the same setting for that one picture, but not for the rest of them in my project bin, so not even from opening the program until it is closed. Such a shame. Reset, of course, works just fine. But thank you for answering it for me.

  • Width*height vals changing in save for web ??

    Hi all
    I've opened an EPS file in illustrator cs4. And its width & height values are differing with width & height values in "save for web" option.
    For example, normally in width & height boxes shows as
    width : 247.499 pt
    height : 116.524 pt
    but in save for web
    width : 249
    height : 117
    I've checked with various figures too.

    Script lan : javascript
    thanks for ur help!
    Actually I've to resize the figure for the width 175, 525, 1400 and the height should change proportionally. So I tried, but I couldn't resize the figures using save for web. Becoz its horizontalScale & verticalScale treats values as percentage. eg. 175 treats as 175%. Then I grouped all items and changed its "width" and foud out the values' corresponding "height" values. But the problem is, exported file's values are changing nearly 3pts.
    could u help on this?

  • Save For Web - Default Output Settings

    Hi all!
    When I use "Save For Web" in Illustrator CS5, I don't like having hypens in my file names (it messes with alphabetical sorting when some of my similarly-named files have hypens, the rest have spaces). So everytime I export an image for the first time using save for web, I have to go into "output settings > saving files" and uncheck "Unix Filename Compatibility". Having to do this every time is a little annoying.
    I tried unchecking that box, and then saving the output settings as a settings profile, overwritting "default settings.iros", hoping that Illustrator would load that file everytime and leave the Unix box unchecked. But alas, that did not work, and when I go to "Save For Web" now on a new image, instead of using the default settings profile, it just uses "Custom" instead, with the Unix box checked.
    So it seems Illustrator would rather use it's own default settings, instead of mine. Is there any way I can set it to stop checking that box every time I create a new image and export it for the first time?
    Thanks!
    Joey

    You are correct it is writtn that way in the Save for the Web Preferences and I assume if you knew what to put in its palce and resaved the preferences it ould 'no loo'nger be a problem for you the thing is what would you write in its place?

  • PNG changing colors using save for web (CS2)

    Im having a problem with making PNG pictures when using the "save for web" function (this also happens in Image ready)
    I make an image in sRGB color space and chose "save for web" and set the settings, all looks fine and i save it as png8 or png24.
    Then when i view it in a browser the colors af "off" (desaturated) ??
    But if i chose "Save as" in Photoshop, and chose png, and save it that way, the color macth up and looks allright.
    What im a doing wrong ??
    I have made a test with to sets of colors / picture one with "websave" color and one without then save them "using save for web" in gif, jpg with profile, png8 and png24
    The gif and jpg goes well but the png's colors goes "off"
    I also saved the to files using "save as" and here the png's colors looks fine
    (Ther are also some screendums of my color setting, "save for web" setting and my screen profile if that can be of anny help
    http://home19.inet.tele.dk/jgom/pngtest/
    Also! can anybody tell me this ?
    When using "save as" i cant chose what png im saving as ? (8 or 24) What type of png dos PS use when you save it like that ???

    Now I've read up on it, it seems the issue is indeed gamma.
    (I really appreciate the "that's impossible, you must be doing something wrong" comments, by the way. Not "hmm, I don't know," but actually "what you've described in detail isn't happening; you're imagining things." Super helpful.)
    Anyway the real question is: is there a way to stop Photoshop from including gamma data? It's apparently an optional portion of the PNG spec.
    The whole gamma thing is unfortunate, but the *really* unfortunate bit is that Photoshop includes this information at all, particularly in a Save for Web context.
    Most importantly, it seems this has been an issue for some time (Google "PNG Photoshop gamma"), and PNG is usually used for web, so why on Earth hasn't Adobe addressed this? Let's not forget that Photoshop is the industry-leading tool, and the Extended version costs $1000 by itself. The only options I've seen for saving as PNG in PS so far is sRGB conversion, bit depth, transparency, and interlacing. This whole gamma thing seems pretty unacceptable behavior, even by default.
    I'm looking into pngcrush; does anyone have a simpler solution to strip the gamma information? Of course, if there's a way to do this in Photoshop itself, please please let me know.
    Thanks.

  • How do I change the image size in Save for Web?

    I just upgraded to Illustrator CS6 on a PC.  I try to save my graphic in Save for Web and want to alter the image size, but it won't change,  it just goes back to the original size.  If I change the percentage box, the values change.  I have tried linking and unlinking the proportions and nothing.  What am I missing??  I don't have time to guess the percentage to get to the exact width I need. 

    Make changes in the Image Size section of the Save for Web. Input new values in Width and press Tab key to move to Height field. Click on the Link icon to unconstrain proportions. As you press the Tab key again to go out of focus of the Width and height boxes, you will see the changes reflect inside the Save for Web window. If this doesn't work then make sure you have updated Ai to 16.0.1 or 16.1.0 depending on the type of installation (from Disc or from Creative cloud) respectively.

  • Photoshop CS6 save for web some colors change?

    I have a picture with large area of color: #fffdfd, when I save it for web (jpg) this color is changed to #fefcfd (in JPG).
    I just can not save as JPG with #fffdfd.
    (was trying uncheck convert to sRGB, do not embed color profile - always #fffdfd changes to #fefcfd when save for web)
    However, color #fefcfd when save for web , does not change.
    Why some colors change and some not? Is it a bug ?
    Window7 64bit, Photoshop CS6

    Save for Web & Devices will strip some color data from the file.
    Browsers aren't color managed. Most file formats on browsers assume they're sRGB. While Photoshop gives you an option of embedding sRGB to the document color space, it also strips off data that is not relevant. This is a common occurence.
    PNG-24 on the other hand will give you the exact color match.
    Also, Save for W&D, JPG quality matters a lot - The same color at Quality 10,20,30,40,50...100 wil give you different color reproductions on the JPG end output.
    If you're concerned that much about an offset of +/- 1 hex value to your RGB colorspace, dont save for web & devices. Do a 'Save As' instead. Then use an image editing/ resizing application such as ResizeMe to resize the quality of your document. This, in most cases will retain colorspace information but just drop the resolution and quality of the image - giving you a lesser filesize.
